Yeah..! Picked up a tiny screwdriver for $4 from one of those hardware shops just before the sunshine coast motorway, just as they were closing, on my way back to Noosa after finally getting the fuel pump replaced..

Sat in a bar with a cold Coopers and made the necessary 'adjustments'.

This RR is certainly not a good advertisement for BMW.
I don't think I have read of a bike with more problems, it must be frustrating.

I would think twice before considering buying one.

yeah i'm not sure i entirely agree...

sure the bike has had a few issues, but most of my frustration has been caused by the actual dealers..

(i.e take a bike in to dealer with a problem, tell them how to recreate it... then a week or so have them tell you you can have the bike back as they coulndnt find a problem...ask them if they'd done what you told them to do to recreate the problem and have them say 'no, we didnt have time...'

thats not the bike, thats shit service......

anyway, i'm out of warranty now, so i doubt i'll be seeing much of dealers from here on....

(although i still have to go 400kms to one to pick mine up (again cos BMW refuse to return it to me after towing it away from me...... shit service again....)

anyway, apologies for not getting around to finishing the rest of the queensland ride report... lost of pics etc to post... gonna be flat out til mid january but will get onto it again then......

I been moving house..more than 450km.. so stuff is in boxes all over the place..I've got half a computer up n working now... But I've lost a usb stick w all the sorted/reduced pics from the last trip... I've got a master copy but gotta do the while rotate/delete/reduce/upload thing again....

It'll happen, coz it ended up being a fairly interesting ride home w a few cool pics
